    Digital Download??


    I see lots of auctions on ebay for the Windows 7 key and a link to download Win 7. Are these legit? I guess it's the same process as the RC where you download an ISO and burn it to a DVD?

    Win 7 Home Premium for under $30 sounds like a great deal.

    Thanks!

    They would be more likely pirated copies, or already activated ones.

    You would be better off downloading a torrent of win 7 than buying that hunk of activated junk!!!

    keep it legit and legal

    The only ligit digital download you'll get is when you purchase your copy of Windows 7 directly from Microsoft.

    Anywhere else is an invite for trouble from various sources.
